A solução está na cultura organizacional! Se a cultura da empresa não vê bem-estar como um pilar importante para o aumento da produtividade saudável, não há espaço para essa discussão.

Practicing mindfulness helps you stay present and reduces stress. Spend a few minutes daily on meditation, breathing exercises, or even journaling to clear your mind. This can also help you approach tasks more calmly and efficiently. Recognize that perfection isn’t the goal. Practicing self-compassion during intense deadlines can reduce stress and remind you that your well-being is as important as client success. Be open with clients about timelines and what’s feasible. Transparency helps manage expectations and builds trust, making them more understanding if adjustments are needed.

I feel balancing well-being and client deadlines as a personal coach requires intentional planning and ruthless boundaries. I prioritize my schedule by setting realistic deadlines and allocating specific time blocks for client sessions, preparation, and follow-ups. I have strategic blocks, buffer blocks, and breakaway blocks. I incorporated self-care into my daily routine, such as regular exercise, and time to recharge, to maintain energy and focus. I communicate openly with clients about my availability and any potential changes to timelines, ensuring expectations are managed from the start. I also have an executive team that runs day to day operations and have trained 3 additional coaches that assist with seasons.

Transparenz und Eingebundenheit. Ich agiere immer mit dem Kunden gemeinsam und mache transparent, wo wir gerade stehen, welches die nächsten Schritte sind und plane gemeinsam mit ihm das weitere Procedere. Agil reagieren wir gemeinsam auf Veränderungen, sei es im Projekt, der Firma oder mir. Gemeinsam und transparent entscheiden wir auf Grundlage des Ist- Zustandes und des möglichen Soll- Zustandes. Das ist auch wichtig dafür, dass der Kunde achtsam bzgl der Fortschritte bleibt und selbst transparent agiert. Verlässlichkeit ist Grundvoraussetzung dafür, dass ich den Kunden annehme. Gibt es dort Schwierigkeiten, spreche ich auch das direkt an und mache die Folgen transparent.

Vivi essa situação durante 40 anos de PwC. A melhor forma de equilibrar vida profissional e pessoal é focar no planejamento dos trabalhos. É fundamental estabelecer prazos com os clientes, com a equipe de trabalho. Prazos são sagrados. Há momentos em que fatores inesperados afetam o andamento do trabalho. Planejar, controlar prazos e observar que todos os jogadores sabem que a partida acaba logo mais. Parece simples e óbvio, por isso funciona e não sacrifica um time de trabalho. E, por fim, aprender sempre com projetos passados. Uma forma simples de melhorar o desempenho futuro e garantir o tão sonhado equilíbrio. Inverta a lógica da pergunta: o que não devemos fazer que afetaria nossos prazos? Seja simples.
